arianac27@aol.com Posted October 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2017 We sail in 4 days and I see several available balconies. I’m in a balcony which I won via upgrade bid. Can I ask to be moved to another stateroom closer to an elevator at embarkation? There’s so many family balconies (which is a higher balcony category than mine) available. When I asked my TA last week for an upgrade, she said I’d have to pay the difference which I understand. But if the staterooms are still available at embarkation, can I snag it?

Rare mking8288 Posted October 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Short answer is no, imagine if only guests from 50 staterooms asked while boarding on Day 1 to start playing musical cabin switching ... and what about luggage (and, I won't go into lifeboat capacity issues) If you successfully bidded under the Upgrade Advantage offer - congrats - but, those are the terms & conditions as disclosed. Sorry, rules are there for various reasons - and, consider it as part of the daily exercise routine for a little bit of walking. Not the answer you are hoping for ... your TA knew too. Happy cruising. Edited October 18, 2017 by mking8288 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking, cabins are rarely available on embarkation day. By that time, they have assigned folks who booked Sail-away (guarantee) cabins and your desired cabins most likely won't be available. The cruiselines employ a number methods to ensure all cabins are sold prior to sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven is sold out. I guess on a good note, our sailing won’t be as crowded [emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted October 18, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2017 NCL does not upgrade rooms or change rooms at embarkation. The agents you check in with are not MCL employees and do not have any ability to change anything. Guest Services will only change room if your assigned room is uninhabitable.

Odds may be slim, but you never know until you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
